| Overview | Oiled teak, the familiar Hallberg-Rassy HR 36 name, a newer plotter - and you already want to believe the boat is ready for July. | On the live Hallberg-Rassy 29 card the Best for block still says: an early pocket cruiser **before** Monsun and the HR 31 ladder. The yard in Ellös prints something else. Monsun 31 sits in the previous-models table as **1973-1982**, about **904** hulls. |
| Typical issues | Q: Is the HR 36 name in the ad headline enough? A: No. Look at how the stern is built in the photos and whether a hull number is listed; do not trust a length figure alone. Length in the headline is marketing shorthand, not a series proof. Q: Does osmosis risk remain? A: Osmosis is moisture that lifts blisters under the outer plastic skin. | The yard offered the 29 **with or without a quarter berth**. Without the berth you get an extra cockpit locker. That is a layout fork under one name, not «another model». Under water sailboatdata reads a fin and a skeg-hung rudder. Monsun has a long keel and a different club memory. |
